He got legos, a wrestler, silly putty & a quacker (thanks Mom!)! There was also a calendar that Ollie can mark off all the days until we go to CA!!!
He sat down at the table and worked on those legos until it was bedtime!
Ollie's 5 1/2 birthday was on Friday. They celebrate the 1/2 birthdays for the kids who's birthdays are over the summer. Apparently it is a very big deal to be the birthday boy or girl! They get a sticker & crown and get to pick a friend to help them pass out the napkins and cupcakes at snack time!
Ollie was embarrassed and did not want Mrs. McPhee to do the "crazy arm thing" while the whole class sang happy birthday to him. So they just go to sing.
Chris & I got Ollie a little MP3 player and Chris put some of Ollie's favorite songs on it Thursday night. Since it was his 5 1/2 birthday I went ahead and wrapped it up although I told him many times this week that you do not get presents on your half birthday! I guess now we have to celebrate 2 birthdays every year!
He loves the MP3 player! He runs around the house singing and talking even louder than normal!
Thursday, Ollie had his first snow day! He only had to go to daycare that day! We sent his snow clothes to daycare with him but they did not go outside so as soon as we got home we bundled him up and sent him out with Bella! It was very cold but they didn't seem to mind. They stayed out for about a 1/2 hour while I made soup and grilled cheese for dinner. Perfect for a snowy evening!
While we were eating dinner Duke called and asked if we had any size 5T or 5 boy clothes because one of his friend's house burned down and they lost everything. We told him we would box up Ollie's old clothes and he could pick them up. I was explaining to Ollie why we were giving away his clothes that didn't fit because there was a little boy a little younger than him and his house caught on fire and he lost all of his clothes. The wheels were turning in Ollie's head and he said "did he lose all of his toys too?" I told him he probably did. Ollie then said "can I give him some of my toys?" Sure! So we went upstairs to go through some of his toys. Ollie decided to give a little boy that he doesn't even know his old batcave along with a Batman, Robin, Penguin & Riddler! He also gave a few other little toys! I am so proud of him! We must be doing something right!
